Here is something a little different I have made for you.
These are my newest Blogger Backgrounds but this time I have included with each one
the background from which I made it, kinda a two for one. LOL
My Blogger Backgrounds are 1800x1600 and as always they are free for you to download
and use as you wish, just don't claim them as your own.

Your little hand's wrapped around my fingerAnd it's so quiet in the world tonightYour little eyelids flutter cause you're dreamingSo I tuck you in, turn on your favorite night lightTo you everything's funny, you got nothing to regretI'd give, all I have honeyIf you could stay like that

Oh darling, don't you ever grow upDon't you ever grow up, just stay this littleOh darling, don't you ever grow upDon't you ever grow up, it could stay this simpleI won't let nobody hurt youwon't let no one break your heartAnd no one will desert youJust try to never grow up, never grow up

You're in the car on the way to the moviesAnd you're mortified your mom's dropping you offAt 14 there's just so much you can't doAnd you can't wait to move out someday and call your own shotsBut don't make her drop you off around the blockRemember that she's getting older tooAnd don't lose the way that you dance around

in your PJ's getting ready for school

Take pictures in your mind of your childhood roomMemorize what it sounded like when your dad gets homeRemember the footsteps, remember the words saidAnd all your little brother's favorite songsI just realized everything I have is someday gonna be gone

So here I am in my new apartmentIn a big city, they just dropped me offIt's so much colder that I thought it would beSo I tuck myself in and turn my night light on

Wish I'd never grown upI wish I'd never grown upOh I don't wanna grow up, wish I'd never grown upI could still be littleOh I don't wanna grow up, wish I'd never grown upIt could still be simple

Oh darling, don't you ever grow upDon't you ever grow up, just stay this littleOh darling, don't you ever grow upDon't you ever grow up, it could stay this simpleWon't let nobody hurt youWon't let no one break your heartAnd even though you want to, please try to never grow up

This is Haley and she is sitting at the grave of a very dear friend name Petey. She is touching his collar that has been place around his grave marker. Petey was an Australian Shepard/Border collie, he was the best dog and he was killed in an accident on March 9, 2012.
I got this shot the other day while we were outside, I was a good distance away from her,

she didn't know I that I had taken it until later that evening.

I wasn't going to post it due to the fact that she is crying and it just seemed like a personal moment that she was having with her friend. Yesterday though, Haley asked me when I was going to post it and I explained to her why I hadn't yet and why I was apprehensive about doing so at all. She said "Mom, it's ok, I want you to post it, there is nothing wrong with everyone knowing how much I loved Petey".

My daughter is so beautiful .

The lyrics below are from the Song "Over You" by Miranda Lambert. We were watching the video to this song when we got the news that Petey had been killed. Every time the song comes on the radio now, I see her taken back to that night when she lost her friend. Haley and Petey were close, they spent a lot of time together. For those who do not know, Petey belonged to our friends Rick and Raeanne, they live on the same property as us, about a hundred feet away is all. Petey was part of our family too and he is missed more than words could ever express.

Weather man said it’s gonna snow
By now I should be used to the cold
Mid-February shouldn’t be so scary
It was only December
I still remember the presents, the tree, you and me

But you went away
How dare you?
I miss you
They say I’ll be OK
But I’m not going to ever get over you

Living alone here in this place
I think of you, and I’m not afraid
Your favorite records make me feel better
Cause you sing along
With every song
I know you didn’t mean to give them to me

But you went away
How dare you?
I miss you
They say I’ll be OK
But I’m not going to ever get over you

It really sinks in, you know, when I see it in stone

Cause you went away,
How dare you?
I miss you
They say I’ll be OK
But I’m not going to ever get over you
